Paws Up to GMAD’s anonymous donor! Due to this person’s incredible generosity, we expanded several of our programs, including spay/neuter , wildlife assistance (transport costs for injured animals) and the sponsorship of the humane resources phone line (1-877-9-HUMANE). Though we cannot thank the person directly, we want them to know much their donation benefited animals! |

Our paw-sitively perfect garage sale, hosted by our dedicated volunteers, Debbie Cianca Mayer and Pat Cram, on September 10th & 11th was a huge success! We raised over $500 thanks to our wonderful donors, event hosts & people who stopped by to shop for a cause! |

Paws Up to GMAD member Holly Tippett and rehabber Ellen Jareckie for recovering a baby starling! Holly found this tiny creature in her barn, fallen prematurely from his/her nest and sick with a bacterial infection. She called GMAD for help, and Ellen stepped in to treat the little bird until he/she was strong enough to be released. Kudos to Holly and Ellen for acting quickly and saving this tiny fragile life! |

|
Paws Up to Café Shelburne for removing foie gras from their menu! Foie gras is made of the fattened, diseased liver of a duck or goose. Because of the animal cruelty involved in producing this “delicacy,” GMAD has written to all the restaurants in Vermont that serve foie gras and asked them to remove it from their menus. Café Shelburne listened! |

To WVMT's Charlie, Ernie and Lisa for continuing to highlight animal related news, and for having our great friend Dr. Peggy Larsen on monthly! |

Paws Up to tireless volunteer Lindsey, who was always up to the task whether it was a bake sale, garage sale or raffle. She raised over $12,000 for spay/neuter through her successful Mile of Money campaign! Sadly for GMAD, Lindsey moved to Albany, NY, but not before GMAD honored her with a goodbye party and even sponsored a cow at the Finally Home sanctuary in her name. We miss you, Lindsey! |
|
Dana Demetrio for her many years of volunteer work |
|
